The drive is going to be horrendous, and we'll have to do it everytime we come home aswell, not looking forward to that one bit! Oh geology sounds interesting, I'm doing molecular biology. Have you sorted your accommodation out yet?

I know, well I was actually thinking about flying to Aberdeen! I flew up there for the open day, cost me like £80 which isn't too bad because petrol is pretty pricey and it only takes an hour on the plane.

Also about accommodation, i'm waiting for some reply of Aberdeen but i'm pretty sure i'll be staying in New Carnegie Court, how about yourself?

You know, flying hadnt even crossed my mind! I've only ever flown once though when I was much younger, would it not be awkward with all your stuff? I got a train up there on open and it took decades, really don't want to do that again

I'm also waiting for a reply, I think that maybe I'll be in Johnston Hall but I'm not sure. Do you already know anybody whose going because I know like zero people in the entirety of Scotland

I guess it would be abit awkward, you'd need like two suitcases but saves the mooch in the car!

And naa, nobody that I know are going there, everybody's going Birmingham, Sheffield, Leeds or somewhere near Manchester. I was abit worried that it was going to be majority Scottish people there and i'm just there with my manc accent chilling

Yeah you're right, I'll think about it once I know exactly what I'm taking with me!

Haha I was worried about the same because all of my mates are going to Liverpool unis (with the exception of like one or two) and I didn't want to be the random scouser of the university, but looking on all the groups and stuff it seems like quite a few people are travelling!

Any other psychology applicants? :smile:

I'm moving up from Kent if I get my grades, I'm already panicking about results day it seems like such a long wait. I've applied for New Carnegie but I haven't heard back from accommodation yet, hopefully it'll be soon :smile:


Hey , how did your results go? I just confirmed my place for psychology through clearing. Coming up to Aberdeen from London so I've got a big move too !

Hello everyone.
I am coming up from London to study in Aberdeen for a History MA. Is anyone doing this?
I will be staying in Johnston Hall, any other legends staying here. It would be nice to get to know a couple of people before term starts.

Well technically, I'm not going to a university in my own own country because Scotland and England are different countries but I see what you mean. Some people are travelling from outside the uk completely and I don't know how they're doing it! I'd be terrified! Where are you travelling from?
